Aqua Ammonia Plant

Environment

Partnerships with Environmental Agency (EA) and Industry Nature Conservation Association (INCA) to improve the local environment.

Chemicals to produce downstream products, such as wind turbine blades.

Nitric Acid Plant

Burner

Liquid Ammonia is vaporised, reacting with Oxygen (O2) to form Nitrogen Oxides.

Air

Ammonia

Absorber

The Nitrogen Oxides enter the bottom of the absorber and react with water that flows down from the top. Nitric Acid is produced.

Biproduct

Electricity to the grid

"Over the last few years, we’ve invested £9 million in our manufacturing facilities to reduce our N2O emissions by 3,000 tonnes every year; equivalent to approximately one million tonnes of CO2. That’s the equivalent of 30% of the reduction required by UK agriculture by 2022."
